Description

Recently, the quantum anomalous Hall effect has been observed in Cr and V doped (Sb,Bi)$_2$Te$_3$ [1]. Its eventual technological applications require a homogeneous magnetization without any contribution from dopant bands to the conduction of the system. We combine low energy muon spin rotation and soft-X-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (SX-ARPES) to study the magnetic and electronic properties of these materials. We observe a gradual magnetic transition with full magnetic volume fraction only at doping levels higher than 8% substitution of (Bi,Sb). In addition, resonant SX-ARPES at the V $L_3$-edge reveals the presence of a non-dispersing impurity band at the Fermi level.
